Soft blues wrapped in warm copper that lead to a swaying copper leaf. These earrings are easy to make yet full of style.

Supplies you’ll need:

  • 6mm beach-style glass in seafoam blue
  • copper wire 24 gauge
  • copper Czech glass leaves
  • copper jump rings
  • copper ear wire

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step

Step 1

Use an eye pin to create a bead link with the beach-style glass rounds. Create a loop at the top and trim any excess wire.

Step

Step 2

Cut two 4" pieces of wire. Take one piece and wrap the end around the base of the loop. Start wrapping the wire around the beads as shown.

Step

Step 3

Once at the bottom of the bead link, wrap the wire around the base of the bottom loop. Trim any excess wire. Use the second piece of wire to do the other earring.

Step

Step 4

Cut two 4" pieces of wire, one for each leaf. Slide the leaf onto the wire and twist the wire to center it on the leaf.

Step

Step 5

Trim off the excess wire from the tail you were twisting with. Create a loop with the wire tail that is not cut. Wrap the wire around the base of the loop 3 times and trim. Make sure all of your loops are facing the right way so your leaf will hang facing front.

Step

Step 6

Attach the leaf with a jump ring. Open the ear wire loop to the side and attach the earrings.
